MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document MathJax(?): Can't find handler for document The equation in the problem is in slope-intercept form. The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y=mx+b
Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept value.
y = 2 3 x - 6
Therefore, the slope of the line represented by the equation in the problem is:
m = 2 3
Let's call the slope of a perpendicular line: m p
The slope of a perpendicular line is:
m p = - 1 m
Substituting gives:
m p = - 1 2 3 = - 3 2
